[solved] QtCreator API open contextHelp from plugin

[markus.liebe]

Hi there,

I want to open the sideBySide context help from within a plugin that I write.
At the moment I use
@Core::HelpManager::instance()->handleHelpRequest(strUrl);@
However, this opens the HelpMode.
As I want top open the sidebyside view and I did not find anything that looks promising in the HelpManager I was wondering whether
@void HelpPlugin::activateContext();@
would be the way to go.

Do you have any hints on what I have to do to open the side-by-side context help view from within plugin code?

Regards,
Markus

Eike Ziller answered me on the qtcreator mailinglist:

"Looks like the welcome page uses handleHelpRequest(url + QLatin1String("?view=split")) to achieve that effect."

This did the trick for me!
Thanks!

Markus
